Volunteering At The Shieling Project
There are lots of ways to volunteer at the Shieling Project. You can come during our volunteer days held during the week every month, or you can come to a volunteer weekend. If you really like it you can come and live at the project and support the staff delivering our residentials and holidays.
The directors of the project are volunteers, as are our advisors. So if you feel like you have skills that could help us run the Shieling Project please get in touch.
“Thanks again for a lovely day, it was great to help you complete the building of something that you will hopefully use for years to come!” – 2017 volunteer.
For more information on volunteering follow us on our social media, or look at our Calendar and News pages.

Fascinating to learn how the Dwellbeing project Newcastle is using the idea of the #shieling to open up a conversation about reclaiming public space in an urban context - so many common threads #reclaimthecommons #buildingcommunity #landjustice @JuliaHHeslop @ArchiFringe https://t.co/C0SaygtHaZ
Thanks to @LesleyRiddoch for her talk on huts and #shieling traditions in Scotland, Scandinavia and beyond, reflecting on the dispossession of so many Scots from the land #bothyculture #commons @ArchiFringe #Archifringe2019 https://t.co/Y1Gl94GLIL
The #commons is about stewardship of the things that we all share in common - natural resources & cultural inheritance - ensuring that we protect them & pass them on, undiminished, to future generations. In #Gaelic culture, this makes perfect sense #dùthchas #shieling #àirigh https://t.co/eTW2ZqUQxt
